    -18 wind chill in Altoona, IA! Time for pants Paul! Pick up at 0800 in Grimes, IA. Then to Joplin hopefully for a reprimand.

    In Ellisburg Wa for the night...

    Axle weights front to back were 10.5k, 21.5k, & 20.5k. There was a layer of ice beneath the snow, but being a flat lot it wouldnt normally be an issue. I do think I came to a stop in a pothole or something, because once I was pulled ~10' backwards, I was able to get around myself driving 20' forward, reversing 5', then driving 20' forward and repeating. Then again, that was with chains...

    Anyone know if getting towed 10 feet will kill my safety bonus?

    My truck is also smoking intermittently. Will suddenly start putting out a plume of light blue smoke (reeking of burning oil) for about halfway up a grade for maybe 1/4 mile then stop for the rest of the grade. Looks like spyhunter when it does it -- I'm thinking turbo going bad (230,000 miles)?

    At the beginning of the month we got stuck in Arkansas during that freak storm and when we called they told us they really didn't what to have to call a Tow truck because it would go against ur safety bonus because of having to be towed, but I would double check it always changes depending on who you talk too

    Kind of afraid of that... I'm going to call it in after I finish my delivery tomorrow -- 120 flat miles away. I would imagine there will be an international dealer somewhere in the seattle area too.
